Living With Juvenile Diabetes

Posts Tagged ‘Diabetes Awareness Jewelry’

If you or someone you know is a diabetic, you know the importance of having some type of identification and medical history information available in case you were to be injured or have a diabetic episode and were unable to tell bystanders or rescuers of your medical problems. For Type 1 juvenile diabetics, it is even more important if a parent is not readily available.

As you may know, the chance of unconsciousness or even seizures in a brittle diabetic with hypoglycemia is great. While an emergency responder can often reverse the process with glocose through an IV, time is of the essence to make that clinical impression (they don’t “diagnose”). This is where a medical alert bracelet is very important.

The problem is in the design of the standard bracelets and the fact that many younger kids through teens do not want to wear something that is large and clunky.

Wouldn’t it be great to have an emergency alert bracelet that kids wanted to wear? Something that was “cool”?

Check out our sponsors to see the wide variety of models and styles offered. I think you will find one that your child or teen will really like.

You’ll also love the fact that they will wear it when you are not around if an emergency happens.
